Hummingbird Shutters

Wow! I have a new found appreciation for Installers of soft treatments. I have installed shutters and blinds for years, with only the occasional challenge. Today I was installing some custom drapery panels for the South Carolina Southern Living Home presented by Southern Living approved builders Dillard-Jones. Since this is a show home and I am providing the draperies and woven wood shades I decided I would save some money by installing the custom draperies. The finished length of the panels were 120″, so I was on a ladder all day. Needless to say it was a learning experience. The installation went well (slow, but well) and I will soon be posting photos on our website www.hummingbirdshutters.com and www.excitingwindows.com/hummingbird

What could be a better motivation than a change of seasons to help you get started making your home as beautiful as it can be for the coming holidays, indoor entertainment and your family’s warmth, comfort and enjoyment? Fall is really a perfect time to consider new window décor ideas so as to be certain your updated home will look fresh and new in time for holiday parties and family get-togethers.
From My Home News Nov 2008
It is not to late to dress up you windows with Shutters, roller or cell shades, top treatments or even woven wood shades. Visit us today at Hummingbird Shutters

A simple solution to improve drafty rooms is to layer high R-rated fabrics and materials over or under existing window coverings. If you already have beautiful custom window fashions in place, how about new, vaned cellular blinds for a layer of heat transfer-stopping beauty. These blinds come in myriad light-controlling densities and color options certain to accent your windows while working hard to save you energy dollars. Other innovative shades and blinds and shutters also offer a vast improvement in heat-retention around your windows, and provide an added layer of beauty as well. Ask me about the incredibly gorgeous, high thermal quality fabrics and linings now available in creating custom draperies for your home. You simply won’t believe that such beautiful materials can also save you money, even in the short term.

“Fabric is a magical element. Sheer fabrics can be installed as draperies,curtains (tied-back of in straight-hung panels) and top treatments, or used in the ever expanding manufactured products utilizing sheer or semi-sheer fabric in a horizontal or vertical blind. Many customers embrace the idea of using sheers and shadings because they soften light and because the light coming in through the fabric adds to the visual and sensual ambiance of the room.”
